look at this jacket (go ahead, laugh). it is ridiculous-looking. who in their right mind is going to want to wear it?
the motorola audex jacket is an “i love the 2000s” instant hit. i mean, you could make a VH1 “i love 2006″ right now, and this jacket could be your headline joke. you won’t even have to wait the normal decade or so for people to realize how silly and quaint this invention is:
“hey, get me that fly jacket with the two huge red nodes on the collar and the james bond wrist dialpad. then i’ll be cool.”
here’s a potentially problematic scenario:
mom: “jimmy, i tried and tried to call you, but you never picked up.”
son: “yeah, well, i went inside. sorry.”
mom: “i told you, jim, you’ve gotta wear the phone everywhere.”
son: “but it’s embarrassing. people call me names like “alien boy” and “robot” because of the big red nodes, and because i’m always sweating, and because when i push buttons on my wrist, it looks like i have some sort of cyborg arm.
mom: (sighs) “well, that’s it. i’m taking away the coat phone.”

Man, I cannot WAIT to see video clips of Japanese kids wearing this (without irony) while sweating buckets doing Dance Dance Revolution. If there is such a thing as heat stroke unit in hospitals, Japan better get all of their’s ready.
Great, just what we needed: People talking on their cell phones while they snow board. I can see it now:
“Can you hear me now?”
“Yeah it’s really clear, how do you get such good reception?”
“Yeah I know, it’s because I’m on top of a mountain!!”
“Wicked!”
“I know!”
“What are you doing on a mountain?”
“I’m on a double black diam-”
“hello?”
